This project is a mid-term review of Norway's support to the cultural sector in Nepal. Norwegian support has covered the following areas: theatre production, music, institutional capacity building, and documentation of cultural heritage.

The support has been organised through two projects:

Aarohan Theatre Group in cooperation with the National Theatre in Oslo

Music Nepal in cooperation with Rikskonsertene

The purpose of the review, as stated in the ToR, is the following:

To assess qualitative aspects of the support given so far and give recommendations for possible adjustments for the remainder of the contract period.

To assess the relevance of the institutions that have been supported so far and make recommendations if the same institutions or new ones should be considered for future support.

To assess advantages/disadvantages of the administrative set-up of the support where HPL has been handling the project on behalf of the Embassy
